Holiday Stroll

When: Wed., Dec. 5, 5-8 p.m. 2012

What does a running store have in common with a Mexican restaurant? How about an Irish pub and a furniture and accessories store? Still nothing? Well they really don't have that much in common, except the annual Holiday Stroll Downtown (tinyurl.com/cbj9j4j), in which more than 40 restaurants and shops between Boulder Street and Colorado Avenue along Tejon Street will pair up to let you experience true holiday spirit while you snack and shop from 5 to 8 tonight. Along with the free food and drink, expect plenty of live music, carolers, face painters, balloon artists, and prizes. — Kiki Lenihan
